It's good if there is a club that is able to catch PSG in Ligue 1, but in reality it has not existed until now, although it is possible to still be pursued if another team is able to beat PSG twice and Lens should be able to win until the end of the season. That is what is still difficult to happen in Ligue 1 so that PSG's dominance continues to be seen this season and it is likely that next season will be the same.

there are no problems for PSG this season. they continue to win big and keep on top of the standings. PSG's focus I think is no longer on Ligue 1. they always dream of the Champions League trophy. and they will not let go of the opportunity.
Lens is not a threat to PSG. they have good points, but if PSG always wins consistently. Lens will not stand a chance.

After all, PSG is so far the only unbeaten team in Ligue 1 and of course, it is difficult for any other team in Ligue 1 to take over the top spot in place of PSG.
Also, even though Messi and Neymar didn't play full time, I don't think they played badly. Because I personally believe they still have a contribution to the team even though they didn't score goals and assists in yesterday's match against Auxerre.

Nobody knows about Lens, whether they can be consistent or not because even, last season Lens could only finish in seventh place. So I think there is no guarantee for Lens to be consistent throughout this season to threaten PSG's position at the top of the standings.
If later Lens suddenly experiences a decline in performance then of course PSG will be more comfortable at the top of the standings, and I think that is very likely to happen.

Competition? It is only a matter of time for the clubs in 2nd place to fall further behind PSG. Now the point from Lens which is in second place has shown a difference of 5 points and of course this point will be difficult to approach and even tends to be further away from the point acquisition.
But if we talk about the competition for the Europa League and Champions League zones apart from first place, it is indeed possible to happen.

For Ligue 1 I don't really expect much about the competition to catch PSG even though it would be great if there was something like that.

This match was very important for PSG. Because in this match PSG's second-tire player played against Auxerre basically. Messi, Neymar, Mabppe and Ramos were all in the starting XI. But every player played very carefully because now they want to avoid injuries. And so the onus for this match was on PSG's second-row players. And Hugo Ekitike, Sanchez and Soler have proved their mettle quite well. With the help of these players, PSG won a great 5-0. So even if PSG's top players are absent due to injury in a match, PSG still has the ability to perform well. Now their team is quite strong.

It was a usual game for PSG in the league. They got a too comfortable win despite Messi and Neymar's poor performances. Against teams like Auxerre, one of the trio is enough for PSG to get a decent win.

PSG have already started to relieve very much in the standings as well. I see that Lens are not far away from them but it would also happen in time. I don't think that they can do the same as Lille and make it to the title this season. There aren't the same mistakes made by PSG anymore. They are just focused on having as big gap as possible before their Bayern Munich games in the Champions League. They shouldn't have any problem about this as well.

Psg beat auxerre 5-0 at home. They didn't make much of an impact, but they had no problem taking advantage of the positions they found themselves in. 5 goals from 6 shots on target shows that.
In the most important match of the week, it was Marseille who won. They managed to get 3 points with 3 goals away from Monaco. In this way, they ended their bad run by winning 2 weeks in a row.

Marseille is a team, which also showed some really big promises this season. They were really close to the top of the table. But they could not perform consistently. Just like the other teams in this league, except for PSG.

The last match for Marseille is good to have a sleep-ended in a draw. Marseille had to wait till the 98th minute to make the 3 points sure. After being 2-1 down, they had to work really hard to come back in that match. At one point it honestly felt like it was going to be a draw. And towards the end, it was absolute chaos. But I thought Marseille had better control over the match compared to Monaco.

3 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses is a statistic that is as bad as the other 3 teams in the relegation zone. A team like Auxerre is actually very weak for a team like PSG, but I'm not looking down on this team as a Ligue 1 team. It doesn't seem worth it to stay in Ligue 1 any longer, but the season is still long for Auxerre.

Until the 15th match, PSG was still an unbeaten team in Ligue 1. PSG only drew in 2 matches, while 13 others won. PSG's success in winning many matches cannot be separated from the good performances of the attackers and also all the players involved in every match. They have scored 43 goals with only 9 conceded, this is an absolutely superior statistic for a PSG team.

PSG continue to dominate Ligue 1. They are playing very well. PSG are still unbeaten this season and have only drawn two matches. If such performance continues, PSG will undoubtedly win the title. And like the previous season, PSG will be 10-15 points ahead of the second placed team. Because PSG's three attacking players Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are all in very good form. Meanwhile, defender Ramos continued his good form. More important than Ligue 1 this season for PSG is a good performance in the Champions League. And as they continue to perform consistently well, I expect them to play well.

PSG are unbeatable, they have the best squad and coach in Ligue 1. Lens does look good but competing with PSG is not an easy job

I kept asking myself, is there no team in Ligue 1 that will beat PSG until this season ends?  PSG's dominance is truly extraordinary. Lens will face PSG in week 17, it will be a big match and also a very important match for both, especially Lens

I probably think that it might not be the same as it was in the last season. But I have no doubt about PSG being the winner of Ligue 1 again this season.

I can see they simply do not have any competition. Even though a few teams did give them some trouble towards the start of the season, eventually it is going to be all PSG. There is not a team that has even half the quality of players that PSG has right now.

So, it is absolutely dumb to expect any other team to win instead of PSG. Now PSG already has a benefit of six points from the team which is right below them. I don’t think that point difference is going to reduce in the future, to be honest.

Reflecting on the previous season where Paris Saint Germain claimed the title before the league ended with a difference of 15 points from the second position held by Marseille. It seems that this season we will see the same situation as before, namely Paris Saint Germain will claim the title before the league really ends. Maybe for some people it will be too early to say so, but if we are in the standings now it is possible for this to happen again. Their closest team at the moment is Lens, who has collected 36 points, only 5 points behind Paris Saint Germain. Considering the former Marseille team who were in that position and they couldn't afford to keep it then the same thing is very likely to happen to Lens. This is also inseparable from the superiority of Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1 which almost does not have a balanced opponent with them.

Well, you're right about that, I think that League 1 is not very exciting, from the beginning I had a lot of faith in Lille, Marseille, even Lyon, but I don't know what's going on, I think they play PSG with a lot of respect , and if there is something that cannot be denied, PSG has many stars that can solve any game at a certain moment, even in the last minute, the last second, Messi, Mbappé or Neymar cannot appear to score a goal, that's something indisputable.

Now, they can win the French League, but they have to show what they are made of, because they are doing poorly in the UCL, I am sure that now it will be a great challenge against whoever it was, Bayern is not just any team, it is the great team, and Muller really wants to play and win, I don't know, but I think that PSG now has to manage well, because with such a huge team it is for them to win everything they want.

The case of Messi is different, Messi has won Leagues, UCL, several trophies, but PSG still need to score points, they need to build history, it is not about the team that has the most money, but the one that does things better, and here not only the league matters, football goes much further, at PSG they must think that not only do people think that the league matters, the UCL and anything that plays the duty to be is to win, but what is the use of having so much money?

Well, and a PSG star who will miss the World Cup

PSG star withdraws from France World Cup squad through injury

In this case it is true, because their insistence in the second half must be given a lot of credit in this case because they are tireless and keep trying especially in the last 10 minutes.
Pretty amazed at what they did but I'm having a hard time accepting I lost my bet in the last 10 minutes. Monaco played very well but in this match Marseille was much better.

It is strange that of the trio, whose members must farm beautiful statistics for themselves, only Mbappe earned a point according to the goal plus pass system. Apparently, everyone is already in Qatar with their thoughts, and they didn’t even try in such an easy game. By the way even playing in the farm league, Mbappe is still far from getting the golden boot 

The competition in Ligue 1 is almost the same as the bundesliga where there is only one club that dominates in the league, so far PSG are still dominating and it looks like it will happen for the next few seasons until there is another club that is really strong financially, I totally agree with what are you saying, because no team in ligue 1 is really strong until the end of the season, some teams in ligue 1 do often provide competition but slowly they start to fall behind and as usual PSG will end the end of season at the top by leaving their rivals with big difference in points.

Monaco had a bit of very bad luck. Otherwise they would not have lost points in this match. I watched this match. Monaco's players played very well. And tried till the end of the match to win the match. But unfortunately they conceded a goal in extra time and lost the match. However, Monaco's players performed better in this match than in Marseille.

However, Lens and Rennes are now second and third in the table, behind Marseille and Monaco. Performances in Monaco and Marseille have deteriorated, but Lens have stabilized themselves day by day. And now their performance is very consistent.

Lens has made a surprise with impressive performances this season, five points clear of PSG who are in first place is a very good achievement made by Lens. PSG, which always dominates Ligue 1, is very difficult to be disturbed by a team like Lens, PSG always gives the best performance in Ligue 1 with the strength they have. The PSG squad is still unmatched in Ligue 1, Lens is only able to sit in second place, if for the first place it is very difficult to do.

Competition in Ligue 1 is only limited to chasing points, if for the champion only PSG are able to achieve it. Ligue 1 is the same as the Bundesliga, whoever sits in first place during the season is still rolling, Only PSG will win the trophy. Due to a lack of competition in the domestic league and lack of consistency on the European stage, PSG has always had difficulty getting the Champions League trophy.

Marseille deserved this win in fact. There were some serious problems in their defense in the Monaco game. Balerdi caused a really easy penalty and he must be regretful for that. On Monaco's second goal, Marseille left a huge space in the midfield and it was too easy for Volland to score. However their having a really good day about scoring helped them very much still. Veretout's goal helped them join the game again. After that there was a really dramatic goal in the last minute thanks to Payet - Kolasinac duo. It was an incredible cross by Payet indeed.

Marseille are back in action again as it seems. This is their second win in a row. Beating teams like Lyon and Monaco will give them extra confidence surely. Maybe we have a long break now but I still expect them to be fully motivated to maintain this series. It depends on whether to have important players injured of course.
